BADAJOZ CONQUEROR IN TOWN OF TALAVERA

Hendaye, Aug. 27.

The struggle for the possession of Irun and San Sebastian was resumed to-day and resulted in another insurgent check.

Following a heavy barrage by both sides, the insurgents attempted to storm the Government lines, but their attacks broke down and they were early compelled to abandon the direct assault along the road to Irun and attempted a flanking movement on the slopes of Mount Turiarte. This also ended in failure.

Following the arrival of reinforcements from Burgos, the rebels appear to have made some progress, but they have not succeeded in turning the strong Government positions.

This afternoon the fire slackened on both sides, for the combatants seemed to have tacitly agreed to have a siesta while the front line troops were relieved.

28, 1936,

London. Aug. 27. Tho internal politics of Spain concern the people of Spain, but the mass execution of prisoners and the barbarous reprisals engendered thereby are matters to which the civilised | states cannot remain indifferent.

This point was stressed In a com- | munientlou from the Foreign Ofee to the British Ambassador. Sir Henry Chilton, who is at present in lien- daye, on the Franco-Spanish border. close to the scene of fighting around Irun and San Sebastian.

The communication cordially wel- coines the

projected scheme of cooperation in approaching the leaders of both sides to urge an end of brutality, and emphasises the urgent desire of the British Govern- ment to play a full part in on or- ganised international effort which, it 1s hoped. will have favourable results-Renter.
